    Nice fish! I've always wanted one(that was mine/in my tank), keep reef recommended parameters and it should do well. Not eating is a red flag. Not that getting one to eat can be too challenging, but, using live foods kind of sucks for that. It seems to stick with the fish for a while. I'd stay away from using freshwater fish/inverts for food. The fu manchu is one of the tougher dwarf lions to keep IME. Don't be fooled by the name, these fish still get to a decent size.
